So, Sinner He managed to break him on his second opportunity to establish the 2-2, and although Alcaraz responded with a 'counterbreak', the transalpine signed another break that condemned the sleeve to sudden death. In it, the Spaniard was burdened by a 1-4 deficit that he was unable to overcome.

The blow took its toll on Alcaraz, who as soon as the second round began, gave up his service. Things were not going well for the Murcian, who wasted up to five break points before the Italian got the match back on track with another break for 4-1.

Another game for Sinner left the Spaniard on the limit, disconnected, and everything was resolved with a new 'break' from the transalpine to close the duel in one hour and 54 minutes of play. His rival in the final will be the Russian Daniil Medvedevwho defeated the German Alexander Zverev in the other semifinal (6-4, 6-3).
